Apple OSX86

The latest version of Safari released a couple of weeks ago as the main novelty includes the incorporation of protection against fraudulent Web sites, enabled by default in the Security preference pane of the browser. In this way, Safari 3.2 alert message when we try to visit a page "known" to contain malware (viruses, trojans and other crap) or pretending to be the site of a bank or company with the intention of obtaining our personal or financial data.

The information provided by Apple on this feature did not allow for much but the guys at Macworld say that in reality it is neither more nor less than the Google Safe Browsing technology developed by the search giant three years ago as a complement to Firefox who joined later in its 2.0 version and recently in the beta of Chrome.

The operation of this technology is based on two blacklists drawn up by Google with fraudulent addresses (one for sites with malware and other web pages for posing those who are not really) that are stored in safebrowsing.clients.google. com. Obviously, Google needs to know the URL of the webpage you want to visit to show a warning if there are problems with it so when starting Safari, this will download an updated copy of the problem domain. If we try to access any of them, the browser encodes the complete URL and sends it to Google for the check. If it matches, shows the corresponding warning.

Also mention that although the latest version of Safe Browsing third list contains sites identified as safe (banks, agencies and large companies mainly), it seems that Safari does not use it. It is a shame, since it is precisely this "whitelist" you get is to avoid making an unnecessary query to Google while we visited pages without a shadow of doubt.

Some users are nervous that your browser will send all this information to Google without your consent, especially when Apple has not provided the least information, but we can be calm. Safari 3.2 does not send any information about the page you are visiting your domain unless it matches one of those listed in Google, and even then, only get the full address for verification.

If this does not ease your mind and want to avoid any communication of this kind, is as simple as disable checkbox in the preferences of Safari but unless you're a double agent of the CIA and Mossad better than let as is. Viruses are not a major problem using Mac OS X but the phishing can catch anyone off guard by one silly day and fall into the trap.

Pue that. Parallels 4 is in the street. Well, the truth is that came out a couple of weeks but to this day I have not tried. Please do not me you are "squares" and do not install this program to run the key-gens (based on Windows) you know what programs to crack. This goes further.

The "gamers" who are "homesick" for Windows-based games were pleased to note the enhanced performance against the acceleration. Rather, I think. A long list of features plus:

• 50% faster than Palallels 3
• Less use of resources (between 15 and 30%)
• Support for DirectX 9 (Pixel Shader 2.0) and OpenGL 2.0
• Support for operating systems 32 and 64 bits.
• Various administrative and interface improvements.
• Access to your iPhone.

You can download a trial to test here . The Spanish version is not updated to 4.0.

Virtualízate, Joe!

The Voodoo Kernel project partners already have it. They just released the long awaited RC Voodoo kernel. This version, in principle, merely tested and reviewed, is after the final version that can be downloaded from the day December 1. In all of this. What is Voodoo kernel? In short, is a kernel that improves performance on Mac OS X implementation of micros AMD, like mine (haha!) And those that only run SS2 extensions.

So far, Intel, being the same as riding the "Mac" buenecitos had some improvement when running, for example, applications based on SS3, compared to AMD microphones. In addition to making use of extensones 64-bit (Vanilla sound familiar?), had to patch some applications to make them work (such as Toast Titanium), etc ... Well, with this new kernel, users of those chips we will increase the performance of our executive team Mac OS X, something that certainly is welcome, if possible, Intel will have a more "one step of."

In principle the capabilities of the AMD must increase dramatically and a significant improvement in overall performance. Soon will post how to install it and discuss that this is going.

If you want to see how, when and why go through here . Descargaos the kernel and comment ...

You know him. This is the new Apple display. There currently are beginning to use the first orders since Apple announced it just over a month. Beautiful, eh? The display features a good hose connectors: several USB ports, the famous iSight and integrated audio, and my view, the most cool: Magsafe connector to charge your portable Mac

Well, this gives us an idea of where the shots go. This is a monitor suitable for those who have, exclusively, a macbook, macbook pro and macbook air. The guys who own a PC are left out, this time, waiting for a review of your Apple Cinema Display.

The monitor is amazing but does it really worth the outlay for a screen you can only connect to a laptop? I do not know.

In addition to the official Apple Store, we all know that there are dealers who consider also sell Apple products bitten apple, such as K-Tuin, Mediamarkt ... These companies sometimes launch special on the Mac or the iPod they represent an advantage over buying a official Apple Store.

In Cupertino are aware of this issue, and seems to have moved tab reminding those responsible for its stores that "have the authority to match the prices of items with the prices of competitors." Thus, if a client is, for example, a cheaper iMac at Best Buy, you can go to an Apple Store with the Best Buy price for that right here, under an authorization manager, bandage the same iMac that price.

This movement is something wrong with Apple, but with the current economic situation and with the arrival of the holiday season (in addition to special rates that appear only during this Friday), can be a good measure to get more sales.

Cupertino Now we jump with them. Apple has published an article in its database which deals with the utilities contenidon Antivirus. But it goes further, Apple recommends using this kind of software on their computers, that is, you already know: Norton Antivirus, MacAfee, etc. According to the note itself made official by the company: "Apple supports the widespread use of anti-virus software for virus programmers have more than one application in which to focus, making the virus design process more difficult."

For a long time, Mac OS X boasted of being a "safe" environment of viruses and other malware. The safest operating systems around the house, based on its Unix foundation. And of course, who is ready to be put to program a virus on Unix? Arduous and complicated task. There may now be accepted from within, that the OS is not as reliable (we are seeing more security updates faster), together with the Mac is becoming increasingly present in the hogares.Antes "who had a Mac, a programmer of 16 years locked in his room and playing ... NO. Now you can have riding even on an AMD processor and an Asus motherboard.

If virus, the doctor. The problem is when you go find a "tail" in infections. That is, as with Windows, back again.

A dream. Friends of Macworld brings us news that more than one musician will return backwards. Leif Ingo Software Company has developed a convolution reverb VST plugin that uses the GPU for processing gráifca NVIDIA card. In other words, "pass" the main CPU is dedicated to other tasks.

And is that developers have realized that the power of the graphics card is increasing day by day and, unless you're a "gamer" to move a video window and you see some left over. Well, someone has to weigh on programming applications to use the power of their abundance, such as digital audio.

However, in this case, we will need an NVIDIA GPU that supports CUDA- (G80 => GeForce 8xxx or higher), with updated drivers. The application, in beta, you can download free from the developers page.

Is clear. This is the end of the card-based DSP systems. Snow Leopard and the Open CL will have to talk.

Apple has again updated its Safari browser a few days after releasing the update 3.2. The previous update includes protection for internet scams (phishing) and better identification of online businesses. The update also includes all previous security updates, but many users had denoted this new actualziación unexpectedly closed too often and create other problems. This maintenance update Apple wants to solve these problems, which have been blamed, without evidence, problems with Webkit and the changes made to increase security measures. The update is available in the Control Panel Software Update in System Preferences.

Apple each year usually do a promotion in their stores, a day during which the offer iPods, iPhones and Macs of course lowered prices.

Looking rebates last year and the year 2006, we expect approximately about 100 euro discount on the MacBook and the iMac (depending on model), 20 or 30 euros discount eliPod nano, and percentage discounts on some packages Software such as Adobe Photoshop or Parallels Desktop.

If you can not enjoy student discounts or those of college and you had planned to purchase any product in the Apple Store online for Christmas, maybe this Friday is the right time for shopping.

OK ... write a letter is fast becoming an ordeal. Kidding ... it's what I mean? Now, Office 2008 is slow to load, even for machinette official "(if it were not for Excel); Pages iWork package is good, but no longer a" message processor "half-way between QuarkXpress and Indesign and Word and others that if they come from Linux, if it will carry some things, etc ...

This package summarizes a little of what is and what it is: writing letters. Nothing more (and no less). Sun Microsystems has launched the "native" Mac OS X and if, costs about $ 35 ... but if you are someone who still write letters ...
